Hi - I work remotely - set hours 2 1/2 days a week I just need a decent internet connection to carry on working as I go - not every week but perhaps every other. Is it feasible to do this, on a practical level, on the Camino or/and am I going to be missing out on the full experience? Thanks x
Once a positive answer is received, the next question would be "contra-seh-na" por favor? That is asking for the password or contrasena..
I will 99% disconnect from my work environment, 70% from my family live and 90% of the social life. Made many provisions and plans and structured Plan B and C as well. . . .All of this terrifies me. Might be the best thing I ever did . . . or the worst. Or a bit of both...
I will be walking in faith on many levels.
Do yourself a favor and dedicate some time to Camino. Do the Camino in legs taking in all it has to give.Thank you for the responses.
Yes - I feel you are right and I would rather not, but getting the amount of time off I would need to do the full Camino is highly unlikely, so I was thinking whether I might be able to do it while I work, or whether it might be a compromise too far.
Yes easily done.Hi - I work remotely - set hours 2 1/2 days a week I just need a decent internet connection to carry on working as I go - not every week but perhaps every other.

Canna, I worked the whole 5 weeks that I did Del Norte, every day, and it worked beautifully. Like you, I really could not disconnect. I own a company and have staff and clients that need me, and sometimes there are emergencies. i am 61 and felt that it was now or never, cause I'm getting older, have a host of health issues (not lease of it arthritis), that are not life threatening but will continue to get worse till I die, so postponing my Camino would simply mean i probably would never do it, ever. Already i postponed twice due to COVID lockdowns. My company cell phone account is with Verizon, so I bought a really great international phone plan that cost $10 per day, had a hot spot, so never lost connectivity, even in the most remote parts of El Norte, which is much more rural than El Frances, and even when the albergue had no connection. A friend walked with me, and he used his small computer every night for work and to stay in touch with friends and family, by latching on to my hotspot or the local wifi if there was any; and I used my phone to post every night on Facebook about my progress on El Camino. I had 400 people following me. I was astonished at how many people were hanging on my every word, and how meaningful it was for them, and for me. Very touching.Hi - I work remotely - set hours 2 1/2 days a week I just need a decent internet connection to carry on working as I go - not every week but perhaps every other.
